Goldy and Stranger writer Slog it out

There’s an interesting exchange going on between David Goldstein of HorsesAss.org and The Stranger’s Cienna Madrid over comments Madrid made on Slog about Sen. Maria Cantwell’s reaction to Idaho Gov. Dirk Kempthorne’s nomination for Secretary of the Interior.

In a nutshell, Madrid took Cantwell to task for saying saying nice things about the Kempthorne. Madrid says that’s a mistake because Kempthorne, a Republican, is no friend of the environment.

Goldstein complains that the left wing of the Democratic Party is essentially eating its own when it attacks a senator like Cantwell, who has a voting record environmentalists would admire.
